Twitch layoffs affect around two dozen employees

Coming off the record-setting numbers shared in our 2017 Retrospective, Twitch is continuing to grow and advance with success stories from Overwatch League to Fortnite’s milestone-setting streams. In order to maintain this momentum, we have an aggressive growth strategy for 2018 with plans to increase our headcount by approximately 30%. While we’ve conducted team adjustments in some departments, our focus is on prioritizing areas most important for the community.

I’m overwhelmed by everyone’s messages of support 😭 I appreciate each and every one of you more than words can describe.

As for me, pls don’t worry. I’ve got two months to figure out what’s next, and turns out esports is doing pretty great in 2018. I’m gonna be fine.
